The Atari 2600 ran code during the TV’s vertical blanking interval and overscan. NTSC TVs display with a frame rate of 29.97 fps and the 2600 typically drew 192 lines of the 262 available, and between that three-hundredths of a second in the first case and that relatively luxurious quarter of a second in the second…

A fixed but extremely large number of outcomes. We’re talking about a 5.51 second run, which at 30 fps is 165 frames long (not even counting the portion before the timer starts). Even a 1-button game of that length has 2^165 different possible outcomes (roughly 10^50, or…

Exactly. It seems that no one ever takes into account that TASs do not use real hardware. Anything ‘proven’ via emulation is wholly inaccurate by its very nature.

There is no tricky part where I’m looking.

“The question should be, ‘Why does the mathematical analysis disagree with the empirical evidence?’

This all seems like butthurt and inflexibility from someone who made a tool and/or simulation that their tool/simulation doesn’t consider all the right possibilities.

Simple, a self driving car has to be able to work within the realm of events that happen on the road. Failing to yield happens, Uber’s self driving cars reportedly do it on a regular basis in fact. If the self driving car can’t react appropriately to such a simple situation, what chance does it have in a more complex…

Playing devil’s advocate, a lot of accidents that aren’t your fault can still be prevented if you’re driving defensively. Self-driving cars may not be able to react to certain scenarios in the same way as a human driver.

Because the car autonomously groped up the passenger before they could exit the crash. Uber HR said to give it a break, it’s their first crash.

I drive all day in city traffic and regularly avoid accidents that would have been someone elses fault. Over many hundreds of thousands of miles, Ive gotten very good at recognizing when someone is about to do something stupid.

While it was the other guy’s fault, perhaps an attentive human driver could have avoided the accident.

If our president can’t read, why should we?

And could have been worse, an inattentive carbon based life form jay walking?

People have failed to yield to me before, I didn’t hit them. It’s not a complete failure for the autonomous system, but there’s definitely a hole in the programming or sensor coverage

1) Because we have no idea what actually happened.

While it was the other guy’s fault, perhaps an attentive human driver could have avoided the accident.

Because people see headlines that say “Driverless Uber car involved in crash” and fail to read the rest of the story. They conclude autonomous vehicles are unsafe.

I mean, what you really probably need is a truck, but when your neighbor offers to sell you his 2005 Porche 911 with 30,000 miles on it for $5000, that is what you buy.

Well, I find your review of his review style to be pretty negative. You’re just telling people your opinion. You should suggest ways that he can improve his review. It doesn’t seem like you’re really being very constructive.
